Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1887-08-25

Is IT not about time that the long
talked-about maps of Kansas, showing
Barton county as she is, were distrib-
uted? Notwithstanding the slanderous
reports which have been circulated
through the East to the effect that
Kansas has gone up the fume as a
booming state, there are thousands of
sober-minded people who know that
there is no truth in such reports, and
who are making their calculations to
come out this fall and take a look at
the country. 1t behOoves Barton to
make an effort to at least call the at
tention of these people to her advan-
tages and resources, and we would like
to see the original plan concerning the
distribution of the above mentioned
maps carried out.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1887-08-25

If THE Democrats of Barton county
do their duty, their whole duty and
nothing but their duty, they will carry
the county in November. But they
cannot afford TO make blunders either
in nominating ticket or i'll conduct
ing campaign. In the first place, the
ticket should be representative one,
showing equal favor to all parts Of the
county. In the second place, every
man should have individual strength
which would add to the total strength
of the whole. In the third instance,
the campaign should be fairly under
way before the Republicans hold their
convention. To sum it all up, it is the
duty of the Democrats in the various
townships to look about them and see
if they have any timber suitable for
any of the Offices, and, if SO, present
their man to the convention. And af-
ter the convention every man ought to
pull off his coat and go to work.

An Animal Army.

Marvellous invaders are the lem

short-tailed field-mouse, and are about
five inches long, with round heads,
brown fur, and bead-like eyes. Their
home is in the highlands, or fells, of
the great central mounta n chain of
Sweden and Norway, where they build
nests of grass for their Young. The
jennings are spiteful little creatures
when aroused, slit ng up on their hind
legs and fighting with a will. Not
only are they pugnacious, but extreme
" restless and migratory as WE'LL and
every five, ten, or twenty years they
seem possessed by desire to see
foreign lands.
Thereupon, they one and all leave
their settlements and start out in tens
of thousands, overrun the cultivated
tracts of land in both Norway and Swe-
den, and ruin the plants and vegeta-
ton. They march only at night, press
ing on slowly in one straight course,
and allow nothing to disturb them

Siberia Convicts.

In a report prepared for the minis
terial commission which Is now con-
sidering the project of gradually divert
ing the transportation of Russian con-
victs from Siberia to the island of
Saghalien and certain districts in the
trans-Caucasian and central Asian
frontier provinces, the inspector of the
Tiumen-Atchinsk route to Siberia states
that during the decade 1865 21S,573
prisoners passed along that highway.
Of this number no less than 1867 died
on the way, and 101, 266 were sent from
Atchinsk to the most remote eastern
settlements. The report furnishes no
record of the probably large number
who persisted on the latter part of the
journey. 1t is also silent as to the
causes of the 1867 deaths between
Tiumen and Atchinsk. The fact can
not, however, be disguised that the
horrible hardships and sufferings under
which so large number of these UNI
fortunate eXiles sink on the way are a
standing blot on the penal legislation of

There is much, very much, in the above
estimate that should receive the atten-

lists. Said John S. Clarke, of Boston, in
an address before the Franklin Institute
of Philadelphia in 1881: II hold in my
hand piece of steel. Its value is per-
haps five cents. And yet it may be
said to represent hardly more than so
much raw material. In this hand |
hold another piece of steel of similar
quality, but less quantity, and yet this
latter has value Of 800. What makes
this difference in value? Simply this,
that human thought has been playing,
as it were, about this latter piece of
steel, and has made it the basis upon
which it has concreted itself so that we
have an instrument of great practical
use, micrometer caliper, mainly the
product of thought as expressed by
